"Philly chain Spread Bagelry, the shop known for its Montreal-style wood-fired bagels, just opened its fifth location and this one, the first outside the city, is supposed to look like a train station. The newest Spread, open as of Monday, October 21, is at 925 Lancaster Avenue in Bryn Mawr. Unlike New York-style bagels, which are more common around here, Spread’s Montreal version is hand-rolled, boiled in honey water, and baked in a wood-fired brick oven. To go with the chewy bagels, the shop sells a variety of house-made spreads, breakfast sandwiches, pizza bagels, and sandwiches like a turkey club or chicken BLT (on a bagel). The idea behind the decor is that since it’s on the Main Line, and the Main Line is called that because of a section of the Pennsylvania Railroad built in the 1800s, they went with a train station theme." - Rachel Vigoda
